Dental Scaling Don'ts:
Don'ts:
- Avoid delaying or skipping dental appointments, as regular scaling and cleaning are essential for preventing gum disease, cavities, and other oral health problems.
- Do not attempt to remove tartar or plaque buildup at home using sharp objects or household remedies, as this can cause damage to the teeth and gums.
- Refrain from smoking or using tobacco products, as they can increase the risk of gum disease, stain the teeth, and interfere with the effectiveness of scaling and cleaning.
- Limit consumption of sugary and acidic foods and beverages that can contribute to plaque formation and increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
